Aw, the little fluffy things are so cute! They’ll be nesting here in just a couple of weeks. Last year, there was a pair with a nest on a landscaped median in the Walmart parking lot. Safe from coyotes, dogs, and snakes, at least.
But not terribly cuddly ... and if you try, Mr. & Mrs. Goose will move to intercept, flapping their wings and hissing all sorts of horrible goose-curses at you. We humans could stand to learn a thing or two from them.
Best to leave them be.
Until the Fall ...
I have become a fan of Hevi-Shot ...
